I have been waiting for the chance to break this out again:

Was looking for that post with a sample of the Kryptic camo finish.

*THAT* pistol in DA/SA would truly be, The Great White Buffalo...

(have used both front and rear TFO on personal Glocks last couple of years and local customers who used mine, loved them and ordered them. Unlike Equinox with exposed fiber optic tube, TFO can't be "bumped and broken" like other fiber optic, as tubes are buried in metal; but allows light to enter from front or above and brightest tritium I've seen in rear, which will apply to Sig front TFO, making it significantly brighter than Siglite rear, easy pickup of front! Confidential info on what I was sent; plus my poor computer skills prevent me from posting actual pic; but it is a sort of darker FDE camo which looks great IMHO: but before I saw it, was prepared not to like it! MAP is
$1349.99: but should expect them to sell for a minimum of MSRP, even above for awhile!

Just coincidently I'm sure, release date is April 1!

camo = facepalm.

Whatever is one step up from The Great White Buffalo is, that's it right there just as it is in SAO. CAN'T WAIT for mine to arrive.

So, it looks like the reverse two tone is the only one with adjustable target sights, all the rest of the configurations have SIGlite night sights. The one in the pictures just above which is labeled "Match Elite" doesn't have the target sights.

This is what I find frustrating about the way SIG introduces models. It's hard to find out just how they will be configured and if you order one, you can never be absolutely sure what you are going to get. What is on the site doesn't necessarily conform to what is being shipped and what is shipped can change.

The reason it's important is that I would prefer to wait until the model I really want is out, but not knowing how they are putting them out in terms of configuration, it's difficult to do that. If I had the case, I'd buy one of each, but that's not likely to happen.

Headed to the range this morning with the GT20. We'll shoot video and post it next week. I grabbed this with the iPhone yesterday, just for fun.

I can hardly wait for my turn to say something like this...

At this point, I'm with SIGWolf. It'll be some time before I find out whether what I want is even going to be available and I wish that weren't so.

But for them to so ignore their classic action is very disappointing. .

He would ignore his sprinkles

Our friends at SIG Sauer could have just ignored the whole project. That they didn't, and have accomplished this feat of engineering for us, is to be rewarded with the high praise it deserves, and not diminished over disappointment because one's personal and peculiar cosmetic desires weren't immediately fulfilled by our friends at SIG Sauer who have multiple thousands of orders to fill.

I ask that we get real and be happy for what they have accomplished, and look forward to even more cool versions to come.

Like I said before, some of you act like the guy who wishes Carmen Diaz looked like Jennifer Lopez.

I'm excited they are putting it out in 5" version like the Match Elite .45ACP.

I can wait for the "full" size or a carry size.

Members in Tampa, I just went to Shooter's World and asked if they were getting any of these in. They said they were getting some in and did not take pre-orders. First come first served when they arrive.

The GT20 version has adjustable target sights and SAO trigger.

I'm going to wait for the configuration I want-a basic 220 DA/SA-rather than buying something I don't. I suspect it will be along shortly.

Here's another variant, which will be available for general release to all distributors and the limited number of dealers still direct with SIG.

Kryptec camo, it is a bit wild now..

Well, if that's the camo version then that ain't bad.

Bit of any interesting choice for a first release gun.
Still happy with my reverse two tone preorder.

Targeting the 10MM hunting crowd I'm sure. Though that's not me, I'm sure there are plenty out there. I've had more than one person ask me if I was going hunting with it when I told them I have one coming.

The sights baffle me a bit though, at least the rear. Would that be a hunting sight setup?
